Visual acuity is the most common measurement used to describe visualfunction. Over the last 10 years, new self-illuminating visual acuitycharts generated by computers on monitors or CRTs have becomeavailable. These charts are more flexible and permit the examiner toalter parameters such as background luminance, contrast, color, andoptotypes. Acuity measurements from these charts, as well as printedlow-contrast letter charts, are not standardized and are difficult tocompare without standard information from the manufacturer available.This proposal is to develop standard reporting (output) from this type ofacuity charts.

Project Need: To standardize self-illuminating and low-contrastacuity charts and be a supplement to the current acuity standard.

ISO TAG Accreditation Application and Call for Members

TC 229 – Nanotechnologies

Comment Deadline: June 13, 2005 BSI has submitted a proposal to ISO to form a new area of technical activity in Nanotechnologies. It is expected that the establishment of TC 229 – Nanotechnologies is likely to be approved by the ISO Technical Management Board (TMB) later this month. Therefore, it is an appropriate time to formulate the U.S. TAG to ISO.


ANSI has served as the coordinating body for the ANSI Nanotechnology Standards Panel (ANSI-NSP) since its inception in July 2004. In response to BSI’s proposal, the ANSI ISO Council formed an Interim Advisory Group (IAG) composed of the ANSI-NSP Steering Committee whose charge was to develop a recommended U.S. position. The IAG recommended that ANSI support the BSI initiative and that ANSI undertake the role of U.S. TAG Administrator as the issues to be addressed by the U.S. TAG are cross-cutting and ANSI has demonstrated its ability to coordinate such a group via the work of the ANSI-NSP.

Accordingly, ANSI has submitted an application for accreditation for a proposed U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to the new ISO TC in Nanotechnologies, and for approval as U.S. TAG Administrator. The proposed TAG intends to operate using procedures based largely on the Model Operating Procedures for U.S. Technical Advisory Groups to ANSI for ISO Activities, as contained in Annex A of the ANSI Procedures for U.S. Participation in the International Standards Activities of ISO (available on ANSI Online at: http://public.ansi.org/ansionline/Documents/Standards%20Activities/International%20Standardization/ISO/intl0504.doc). The procedures are posted for review and comment at the following URL:

http://public.ansi.org/ansionline/Documents/Standards%20Activities/Public%20Review%20and%20Comment/Accreditation%20Actions/.

To offer comments, obtain additional information or express interest in participating in the U.S. TAG, please contact: Ms. Heather Benko, PHONE: (212) 642-4912; FAX: (212) 840-2298; E-mail: [email protected].

Please also submit your comments on this application and procedures to ANSI, with a copy to the ExSC Recording Secretary, in ANSI’s New York Office (E-mail: [email protected]; FAX: (212) 840-2298) by June 13, 2005.
